MCMAHEL, MCMICHAEL, MCMICKLE posted by Terry R. Graf on Tuesday, October 23, 2001: My mother was Dorothy McMahel. Her lineage goes like this Dorothy McMahel > Herbert McMahel > Harrison McMahel/McMickle > William McMahel/McMickle > John McMickle > John McMickle/McMichael. I believe that John McMichael was from Monroe County prior to 1767 and eventually left to go to Surry Co. North Carolina. Is anyone researching the McMicael/McMickle's of Monroe County, or have any knowledge of them?

HASSELMAN posted by Bob Dazio on Saturday, December 29, 2001: Looking for info on a W. Hasselman from Monroe county, from around 1860s to 1880s. I found a smoking pipe with a portrait on it, and the name W. Hasselman on it. It was found in a foundation located near a branch of the Lehigh river. I'm guessing the foundation is from the late 1800s because i found a lot of cut nails from that period. Any info would be appreciated.
